And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If <i>it seem</i> good unto you, and <i>that it be</i> of the <span class='smallcaps'>Lord</span> our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, <i>that are</i> left in all the land of Israel, and with them <i>also</i> to the priests and Levites <i>which are</i> in their cities <i>and</i> suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:

And all the <sup>a</sup><a href="1_chr/13/4a" mark="a" type="A" title="D&C 26: 2.">congregation</a> said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

So David <sup>a</sup><a href="1_chr/13/5a" mark="a" type="A" title="2 Sam. 6: 1.">gathered</a> all Israel together, from <sup>b</sup><a href="1_chr/13/5b" mark="b" type="A" title="Isa. 23: 3.">Shihor</a> of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim.

And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, <i>that is,</i> to Kirjath-jearim, which <i>belonged</i> to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the <span class='smallcaps'>Lord</span>, that dwelleth <i>between</i> the cherubims, whose name is called <i>on it.</i>

And David and all Israel played before God with all <i>their</i> might, and with <sup>a</sup><a href="1_chr/13/8a" mark="a" type="A" title="D&C 25: 12.">singing</a>, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

And the anger of the <span class='smallcaps'>Lord</span> was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his <sup>a</sup><a href="1_chr/13/10a" mark="a" type="A" title="Num. 4: 15.">hand</a> to the <sup>b</sup><a href="1_chr/13/10b" mark="b" type="A" title="1 Chr. 15: 2; D&C 85: 8.">ark</a>: and there he died before God.
